What a difference a week makes. The first photo here is the same trail as the second photo in quoted post 🤯 The marathon was loads of fun! Started on the trails, finished in the mayhem of the Brighton Marathon finish. #BrightonMarathon #running #ukrunchat

If you’re running the Brighton Marathon this year, please be aware that the course is half a mile shorter for people using metric measurements than for those using imperial. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #running #brightonmarathon #ukrunchat

A nice chill recovery 4 miles, keeping the heart rate low (for me) after doing my #scyforrunners, then walking to Ikea and back to get a doormat for £1.

The clocks have changed, so it's time for tanks and vests instead of t-shirts, and anti-histamines instead of vitamin D. Out on the railway path to celebrate with an easy half marathon distance to finish the week on 37.67 miles (60.63km).

It's Bristol Trans Pride today, so really only one outfit for #parkrun - my United FC top and pink & blue mermaid capris. Took it steady after cycling in (headwind all the way) and doing the first timer's briefing. Also found out that I'll be on run director duties solo next week as everyone else is away. Gulp.

Out early (for me) and ran my non-flat 10k route steady so that I'd be home in time to not get gig tickets.

A slight shock to the system coming back from a couple of days of not running (but dog walking) straight into a speedwork session. 12 reps of 400m ranging from 1:31 to 1:39 per rep. I think these shoes may have had it. They sounded (and felt) like they were falling apart, plus kept coming undone. GPS weirdness on one 50m accounted for some of the slower reps, I'll have to go the extra distance on my warm up in future to get to a clearer area (though it's no good for anything longer than 600m as it then has its own dense tree coverage).

Mondays are for my running-specific yoga and strength and conditioning sessions (only one more week before we get a new programme). Followed up with an easy to steady 10k. Easy over the first half (which happens to be hilly) and steady for the second (including a stop to have a go on the zip wire).

Underprepared to run a trail marathon but the views (once the early morning mist lifted) more than made up for it. #running #ukrunchat

That was a warm one. Glad I had some water with me as I took the running vest so I could do some mid-run shopping. A nice easy 11 miles in the sunshine. Finishes the week with 40.35 miles (64.94km) run, including a speedwork session, a reasonable go at parkrun, and a long run of 11 miles.
